Have Cron run the script every minute and put something like this at the start of the PHP script:

// stop the script approx. 9 out of 10 times
if( rand( 1, 10 ) != 1 ) {
    die();
}

Have the cron set to run the script every minute or 5 mins or whatever and place the random timing check in the top of the script itself.
